Christmas is almost here!! eeeeeee kkkkk!

Yes, that is excitement then an acknowledgment of fear...... 
I am so NOT ready for Christmas here! I have only purchased one gift (an ice cream maker for my dad!)


                   As you can tell, I haven't even had time to blog or visit my favorite blog to read!! I have been working long hours then making crochet wraps that I sold for a "Dreams for Kids" Charity event. I do this every year,  I sell items and donate part of the proceeds to the charity my work supports for the Holiday Season.  I usually sell about 5 or 6 items BUT this year!! 
THIS YEAR I decided to make two specialty items as a pre-order: a alpaca blend triple wrap cowl in purple and a wool blend "Queen Collar" wrap (or princess collar for little girls) and guess what I sold 10 triple wrap cowls and 15 Queen collar wraps and 1 princess collar!! so I have been very busy! I should be completed today with the last few items .  I also had about 10 crochet grocery bags that sold right off since everyone at work is getting really green! which makes me smile:) 


Anyway, I hope to be back to my favorite reads and blogging some really good posts that you will enjoy. AND I do hope I get my tree up today, it has been sitting in the dining room bare and neglected!
Over the next few weeks, I will be working on another blog with a friend. {Hope to reveal right after the holidays!! So, please keep a look out!}  


Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! and keep warm!
